Thank You Techish. Throwing you some love and grateful for what you're doing. Oliver Luke Taylor
Love your breakdown of the good and not so good of VC funding vs going public!
sadly I don't use iTunes but I think the #techish podcast deliveries a really personal connection to technology and black culture. It feels like the kind of conversation I want to have when I am at the barber or sitting at the hair salon.
the inequities between black americans and white Americans is why I am so excited about purpose driven opportunity zones. I am glad you are speaking to these issues.
thoroughly enjoying your podcast.i am looking forward to hearing more
